There was a considerable amount of interest surrounding the
Title of
Avengers 4, leading up to the big
Title reveal in the filmâ??s first teaser. Part of that interest was due to comments from Marvel Studios president
Kevin Feige, who confirmed
in an interview in 2017 that the
Title to
Avengers 4 was in fact a spoiler, which was why it hadnâ??t been revealed yet. During the development of
Avengers 3 and 4, Marvel initially called them
Avengers: Infinity War Part I and
Avengers: Infinity War Part II, but subsequently changed their minds owing to their desire to make each film stand alone.

Avengers 4 was kept under wraps long after
Avengers: Infinity War hit theaters, and it wasnâ??t until the filmâ??s first teaser that we learned its true name:
Avengers: Endgame.

For some, this
Title reveal was a bit anticlimactic.
Thatâ??s the spoiler? Endgame? So when Colliderâ??s own Steve Weintraub spoke with Feige at the press day for
Captain Marvel, he asked Feige about why they kept the
Title under wraps for so long. Feige noted that the whole â??spoilerâ?* deal had been blown out of proportion, but still contends keeping the
Title under wraps was the right decision:
â??Well, I think Iâ??d said that it all had gotten blown out of proportion to some extent. But it was a spoiler, because if you knew before Infinity War came out that the next movie was called Endgame, then you know that there wasnâ??t an ending to Infinity War. But that had been the Title of the movie from the moment we conceived of doing the two films. In large part, becauseâ?¦itâ??s seeded right there. I mean, itâ??s seeded in Ultron.â?*
Indeed, Feige and the
Russo Brothers did spend a great deal of the buildup to
Infinity War contending that that movie and
Avengers 4 were separate, standalone films despite the fact that they were shot back-to-back. But when audiences saw
Infinity War, it was clear that it was really just the first half of one big story. So Feigeâ??s correct in noting that there really isnâ??t an ending to
Infinity War so much as a stopping point (though I suppose one could argue since itâ??s from Thanosâ?? point of view, he completes his goal at the filmâ??s conclusion), but Iâ??m not necessarily sure that Iâ??d agree that
Endgame is a spoiler.
Fans who pay close attention were aware that
Infinity War was Part 1 of a two-part story, so obviously
Avengers 4 would be wrapping things up. Then again, general audiences who arenâ??t scouring the internet for spoilers day-in and day-out werenâ??t entirely clear that
Infinity War was a â??Part 1â?*, thus the filmâ??s ending had an even more substantial impact on them.
Regardless of the title, fans are clamoring to see
Avengers: Endgame to see, well, how it all ends. Weâ??ll find out when the film hits theaters on April 26th.
